As we age, most of us are prohibiting ourselves from
consuming too much of sweet delicacies as part of prevention to any future
diseases like diabetes. However, we cannot avoid it completely as eating sweets
is truly part of our lives since we were a child. In the same way in our walk
of faith with Jesus, we all started as a child. In 1 Cor 13:11, "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I
thought like a child, I reasoned like a child..."
When we grow in faith, we also grow in wisdom. Proverbs
24:14 said, "Likewise, know that
wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, you will have a future, and your
hope will not be cut off." Wisdom is a sweet that prolongs our lives,
indeed, with great future and hope as we often find and consumed by it. Wisdom is
the sweetest food of our soul, which is sourced from God Himself. Job 12:13
"With God are wisdom and power;
counsel and understanding are His.
We have to seek God through Bible reading, Personal Devotions,
Prayers, Fellowship with other believers, hearing testimonies of God's people.
Therefore if we scarce of it, we have to seek it from Him as it says in James
1:5, But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all
generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him. My only desire
for everyone is to be continuously consumed by the Wisdom from God and not of
our own understanding.
We have to be mindful of every words that comes out from us
as words from God's wisdom has power while ours are nothing but a dead phrases.
Paul, indeed, affirms this in 1 Cor 2:4-6, "4 My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of
wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your
faith would not be based on human wisdom but on the power of God. 6 Now we do
speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of
this age, who are perishing. 7 Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a
mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory."
God bless
everyone!!!
